I finally got around to seasoning a wok bought back in November. I decided to use some bacon fat from the fridge! Then I remembered that I usually cook my bacon in the oven so I don't get my stove all my messy and my place all smelly...

I lit a my lovely lemon verbena candle to combat the aroma and hours later I went to bed. While I was trying to sleep, I thought I could smell my lovely candle and then I remembered I forgot to blow it out!

Everything was okay.

I've had that jar of bacon fat in my fridge for a long time now and never knew what I could do with it. I collected it from slow roasting a pack of bacon, but I never used it for cooking since it wouldn't be very flavourful. It's just good ol' creamy white fat. Oh! I totally stocked up on bacon this weekend! Crotchco here used to have this lovely maple smoked bacon but it's not available anymore. How thrilled was I when I saw it in the American store!! And then there was dry cured bacon that I had to try!

What I really should have done was pick up bacon from Trader Joe's though...we had some super tasty stuff on the weekend!

The only time I really go crazy for bacon is when I'm in the USA. It's like the thing to do when you're there...consume bacon.
